Light and L stood motionless, their faces only inches away from the screen.
"Second Kira?" Light said aloud.
"Or so it seems," L commented.
"What do you mean?" Light asked, his relief melting away. Light still couldn't tell if that girl on the screen was Zoey.
"Look closely," L stated pausing the tape, "Do you see that?" They examined the tape of a girl who didn't look much older than seventeen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.
"What? The fact that she's incredibly tan?" Light asked shrugging.
"Exactly," L responded. He paused the tape, zoomed in, rewound it, played it again, and looped it again, waiting for Light to catch it.
"I see it," Light responded angrily, "You can stop playing those four seconds now."
Chief Yagami stepped up behind them, leaning in closely with Matsuda following close behind. "I don't see it?" Matsuda remarked narrowing his eyes to try and see whatever it was that was so important.
L, who was growing tired of people breathing down his neck decided to explain, "See this?" He paused it to show the girl wiping her forehead with the back of her hand.
"So what," Aizawa remarked, "Of course it's hot. It may be November but they've got it heated in there and she's wearing a pretty big sweater."
"Not that," Light chimed in, not wanting L to get the entire spotlight, "Look at what she does after she wipes her forehead." L pressed play again and it shows the girl rub the hand on the sweater; the sweater now smeared with dark tan foundation.
"So the girl's wearing thick make-up?" Ukita responded from the back of the room, "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Why would this girl know that we put cameras in the building?" L asked the group ignoring the previous question.
"Maybe she's just cautious?" Light pointed out as a possibility.
"It is possible, however it is also highly improbable," L responded.
"Well that guy's Kira then…right?" Matsuda asked.
"Not at all," L replied simply, "Look at them talking; this is clearly their first meeting. We had already established that Kira and second Kira had met."
"So one of them isn't Kira then," Light guessed.
"I believe that neither are Kira nor Second Kira, but both are a form of Kira."
"What?" Light asked, faking confusion.
"It's obvious that Misa Amane is the Second Kira just because of the fact that she fled the country," Aizawa replied with a smirk.
"That is correct," L confirmed, There's a bit more to it than that but essentially yes."
"What does that have to do with Ichinawa Tabuta being Kira?" Light asked.
"This Kira's habits are completely different from that of the other Kira. While the usual deaths are still taking place, there are also very concentrated amounts focused on politicians. This is clearly a recent change."
"We really need to catch Kira," Matsuda sighed depressed.
"Yes," L agreed, "But first we need to catch what we see. Before you is the third and forth Kira."
Lolli skipped home playfully after she re-changed her clothes. She wanted to drive but her car had been towed away for outstanding traffic tickets… depressing, plus it was already late November and the snow was starting to fall. In her hand was a large box with thanksgiving themed wrapping paper. She walked up to the Kira headquarters and smiled, setting the box in front of the driveway. She had already located the security cameras and they were all easily avoided. After it had been delivered successfully, Lolli skated back to her hotel with sleep in her eyes. She really hadn't gotten much sleep lately, she was busy cutting up little confetti papers, and dark rings under her eyes made her look even more like her brother.
She called Light and informed him that she wouldn't be able to come over that night. She said that she hadn't been feeling very well.
"Are you sure?" Light asked.
"Yeah…," Lolli replied, deliberately coughing into the phone.
"I don't want you catch whatever it is I've got," she told him caringly.
"What about the notebook?" Light asked, trying to only use certain words in case L had tapped his phone.
"I should be okay for one night. If I start feeling really bad Ryuk can always bring it over," she told him. Honestly the whole touching the notebook thing really didn't matter all that much too her. What she cared about was catching up on her rest. She had a big day of hacking into the headquarters cameras tomorrow.
